Mark and Paul:
Would larger print margins help?

My solutions: matte paper or dyes on glossy paper.
Also, holding the fluids to a minimum seems to help. Beware of gloss optimizer.
I'm sure different papers are affected differently, but I have not made or seen a good list of the best/worst in this respect.
It's really too bad about the artifacts of pigments on glossy paper. I'm probably going to take another shot at a glossy carbon print B&W approach soon -- not looking forward to this part of the problem.

I'm getting pizza wheel marks on my new (to me) Epson 4800, with sheets of glossy paper. I had assumed that this printer’s vacuum transport mechanism meant no more of those ‘star wheel’ tracks.
I've tried auto and manual sheet feed.
No difference.
Under Paper Config > Ejection Roller Type, I've tried Auto, Sheet and Roll.
No difference.
Anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks,

Normal "pizza wheel" marks are not related to the margins. They are the result of the exit rollers touching the surface of the print, across the entire print. There are usually 2 wheels next to each other and they are about every 4 cm. They leave vertical tracks -- like little pin holes -- on the print surface. Most annoying.
With early inkjet printers (1280 era, I think) we could remove the exit rollers. With the modern printers they can't be removed without having a significant impact on the print quality, as far as I am aware.
